TGIF! It’s time for another edition of the Friday Five, our weekly roundup of five fun events taking place in the Charleston area over the weekend. Celebrate Oktoberfest, join in goat yoga, adopt a new furry family member, and more. And as always, no matter what you choose to do, the staff and agents at Johnson & Wilson Real Estate Company wish you a very happy and safe weekend! 

While the real Oktoberfest in Germany is canceled, you can take a short trip downtown to Bay Street Biergarten for the next best thing! Biergarten Oktoberfest, sponsored by Devils Backbone, will be the happening place to be from now until October 17th. This Friday, Biergarten will host their first ever Biergarten Oktoberfest Food Challenge with Randy Santel. Santel will be consuming a 7-pound brat stuffed with all kinds of Bavarian-inspired foods and will down a liter of Devils Backbone brew within a certain time frame. A smaller version of Randy’s challenge will be available for the public to try as well! This event is open to the public. Stick around afterward for the Midnight City Band from 6pm until 9pm. 

Join Flowertown Charm this Saturday morning for Summerville Goat Yoga. Goat Yoga is exactly what it sounds like—a casual and gentle yoga class with goats! This class is perfect for anyone new to yoga, pro yogis, or those who just want to snuggle goats. As you move into your yoga poses, sweet little goats will roam around, cuddle, and play, adding charm and inspiring happiness during this stress-relieving, fun class. This is an hour-long class with a goat happy hour afterwards. Hang out, snuggle, and take pictures with the goats, and BYOB if you wish. Class is held at Flowertown Charm, a local home, business, and urban, serene, non-smelly mini-farm in the heart of Summerville. Bring an older mat or towel, as the goats may potentially chew on them. Participants must be age ten or older and purchase a ticket.
